Error with Italian voices

[aquaresima]

Hi, I am running mnajaro and installed festival from the arch repo. I then installed mbrola-italian with the AUR packages. when (voice_pc_diphone) (SayText "porcoddio")

I get SIOD ERROR: wrong type of argument to get_c_utt

Then I said, 'maybe these MBROLA don't work' or the package is broken, and I installed manually the Piero voice again, and again, but I always get: SIOD ERROR: wrong type of argument to get_c_utt

(SayText "thank you a lot!")

[festvox]

That's pretty old code from multiple sites, so I'm not sure where the error could be. Can you type

(set_backtrace t)

then call the voice, and call SayText and tell me what output it gives

Thanks for answering, here you go:

We got reports in Debian of this same issue. In Debian, was fixed in the Italian scripts.

Here is a link to the diff that addresses the issue:

festival 2.5 from archlinux/manjaro still have this issue :(

You should contact the festival-italian package maintainers in arch/manjaro. The issue is in the festival-italian module, not in the festival software itself.

The festival-italian package maintainer may copy the Debian fix linked above. There's not much that can be done from here.
